What happened: The Saints reshared the NFL's reveal of Travis Etienne Jr. at No. 96 on the Top 100 Players of 2026, the peer-voted list compiled by fellow players. New Orleans is leaning on Etienne as a featured back heading into the 2026 season.

Why it matters: For a back asked to carry the run game, 96 reads modest given his speed and three-down upside. The Top 100 is voted by players, so a low placement is a statement from peers as much as a snub, which is exactly why the number is worth arguing.
